About Westernport Child Care Centre
Established in 1996 by Gerardo and Josephine Giacco, opening our Hastings service. Westernport Child Care Centre and Kindergarten is extremely proud of the care and education we have provided our families over the past 27 years, as well as the many quality educators we have trained, with many still working with children today. Whilst we are committed to the exciting new developments and concepts of our sector, we use our experiences to ensure children and families get the very best care and education in the sector.
Who We Are
Our educators have extensive experience in children's services and come from varying backgrounds. Our staff are very important to us and participate in professional development workshops throughout the year, which ensures that they are providing an up-to-date service to your child and Family.
Educator's photographs and qualifications can be located in the foyer of the centre.
